We're currently in Vladivostok (12th July 2008). We understand that Vladivostok Air began a twice weekly flight to Anchorage 2 weeks ago, .. no idea if they will tranposrt bikes yet,.. or the costs. If you find any further information, .. then we'd be happy to hear,.. and likewise we will reciprocate.

I have a Russian speaking friend calling them to fnd out. This flight is actually two legs.
Vlad - Petropavlosk, and then Petropavlosk to Alaska.
I have bought my ticket for PKC - ANC for Sept 8 ($1076) and am planning to fly from VVO - PKC a few days earlier ($511). There are plenty of optoins for this first leg.
I will clear customs in PKC. What my friend has told me so far is that it is TECHNICALLY possible to fly the moto to USA, he is finding out the max size of the crate possible for that aircraft, and also that always important price.
I am entering Russia today to Mongolia, internet may be few and far between.
Will continue to post any news here.

Vlad Air to Anchorage
In Vladivostok we hear from a local shiping agent that if we use flight: Petropavlovsk - Kamchatsky - Anchorage, ... we will still need 'Customs Clearance' in Kamchatsky,.. which can be expensive,.. we hear.
Can anybody confirm this?
Max Crate Dimensions: 95cm High, 100cm Wide, 230cm Long
Charge to Kamchatsky seems to be 3.50 USD per Kg.
Charge onward to Anchorage seems to be 6.20 Euro per Kg.
We're looking at a 'Container' direct Vladivostok to Anchorage, total $5,000. It will take 5 weeks and we're looking for additonal bikes to share the container/cost, .......... any interest?. (Hope to depart approx 1 week from this post, 14th July 2008)
call: +7 964 810 8816
Many thanks, .... Geoff

I'll be there soon
Hi guys,
I am in Ulan Bator, Mongolia and heading to Vlad tomorrow. I presume I will need one week to get there. My plan is to take the ferry from Zarubino to South Koreea and than get the bike shipped by plane to Anchorage. It will be fast and cost about 5000USD but I won't spend money waiting for things to happen, I will be in the same plane with the bike, I won't deal with Russian bureaocracy (customs in Zarubino are much better than the ones in Vlad) and I know it's gonna happen. If you want to join, we can get the bikes crated together and get cheaper (you pay for volume or weight, which one is more expensive and it's the volume that costs more; also instead of getting one crate for 1 bike, we'll get 1 crate for 3 bikes). If you have any other clear plan, with a clear price tag and a clear schedule, I'm joining.
So, if you can wait one week, let me know, SMS me at:
+40726177700
Best regards,
Dan

Vladivostok to USA Flight
Dan,.. I'm sitting in the 'Iron Tigers Box' in Vlad, .. and I just got your SMS.
We hear that currently 'Korea' is not the place to be taking a bike, .... ban on temporary importation,.. but it's third hand news.
Flights from Vlad seem to be as folows:
Monday Flights Vlad to Kamchatka, Kamchatka to Anchorage.
$3.50 per Kg (Plus $120) Vlad to Kam
$6.20 per Kg Kam to Anchorage
Personal Flight $1,500.00
Max Crate Size: 95cm H, 100cm W, 230cm L
(I guess only 1 std. bike per crate)
We're holding out for LCL shipping to North America, but Flight option is there.
I'll SMS you from here, but Amur Highway is currently awash with water, mini cyclone from Vladivostok north. Guy called Rik on BMW R100GS is hot on your heels coming out of UB to Chita,.. he's going to meet us at Iron Tigers in Vlad.
Ride safe,.. Geoff

Hello everybody,
For the people in Vladivostok, could you post here the days (and hours) when the ferry from Zarubino leaves for Sok-Cho?
Geoff, I see that you leave on Friday for Zarubino and from there with the ferry to Sok-Sho, so you probably know the schedule fo it...please share it,
Thanks,
Cristina (in behalf of Dan)

Hand and Volker, how can you be reached?
Does anybody knows how Hans and Volker can be contacted?
Dan tried the phone numbers posted by them a few days ago...
Hans, Volker aka.Hombre and Baba, please give a sign:-)
Bitte, send a sms to Dan directly (+40726177700) so that he can also reach you.
I gave Dan two numbers of yours: + 7 423 26 35 474 and +49 170 435 92 48, he tries to reach you as well...
Dan has the same plan as you do: via Zarubino, to South Korea and from there (Wendy) to Alaska.
He will be in Vladivostok today (24th July).
The truck which brings him will leave him 50 km from Vlad, but he's in touch with Shustrik (maybe you are in contact with him..).He'll need help with the bike drive, his arm is in gypsum now (and should stay like this 6, 7 days)

Hi Vlad guys,
Thanks for doing all the leg work there on getting to Alaska. I say p*ss on Vlad Air. I am going the way of Blue88 and ferry to Korea, then ocean freight to Seattle.
Blue 88 - any prices on this yet?
And looking at your post it seems like once you are in Korea, it is about 14 days shipping time from Korea to Seattle, does that sound right?
Cheers,
Rene

Thank you Hans, Volker, Geoff, Dan and Edde.
After all this very good information you have posted, we have decided the best (if not the only) decision is to go thorugh Wendy in Korea. This should make our lives so much easier. We hope to fly the bikes to Alaska sometime around the 10th of August.
Dan, it sounds like your arm may mend in 6-7 days. Very relieved to hear that. Hopefully you are feeling well and this hasn't slowed you down too much.
Like Cristina (for Dan) we'd very interested in anyone could post the ferry departure schedule from Zurubino and how long the ferry ride takes.
Thank you all and safe riding, Mike

Oh, I should check this thread earlier.
Well, Dan has called me yesterday and keeping me in touch about his way. It seems he's arriving late tonight, be cause only about 10 AM he has left Khabarovsk. Tonight we're going to pick him up from Caterpillar truck to Vladivostok. I've already found garage for repair his bike, so no worries. Just waiting for news from him by call or sms.
